Unattended windows xp upgrade

Burn the iso to a cd or use winsetupfromusb. Reviewer: operatingsystem - favorite favorite favorite favorite - February 12, Subject: Great but You should use the VL version rather than the OEM version as that does not require activation at all, hence it avoids any problems with activation one may have. I had to change the hard drive in my trusty XP prof machine and reload from the Activation would not take; it seems Microsoft is not doing that on XP anymore.

All Wpa did was punish paying customers and call all of us thieves and it still does. I been sweating what to do since all the old software, a fortune spent years ago, I still use; it does not work on VM xp emulation on later OS. I found this and it works. You saved my butt and I cannot thank you enough!!

Don't know why or really care why it works. Never is it good to look a gift horse in the mouth Thank you very much. Now with W7 off MS support, hope something like this comes along when that machine tanks.

Don't expect MS to change their pattern and will stop activating those OS's sometime hence. The driver is digitally signed. Join our community to see this answer! Unlock 1 Answer and 4 Comments.
